Simon Wheeldon, CEO of CloudApps said, “CloudApps operates in one of the most dynamic markets providing customers with updates on their carbon emissions in real-time. Today our customers are trying to get ahead of far-reaching and fast-changing regulations affecting their working practices all while incorporating social media. Enabling Chatter within CloudApps Carbon adds even further innovation that will serve to lower the barrier for each employee in a company to get involved in reducing its harmful emissions. It allows for the creation of ‘Green Teams’, employees who collaborate together in real-time on programs that reduce a company’s carbon footprint, helping to deliver real-world change.”

Kendall Collins, chief marketing officer of salesforce.com, said, “As the market for carbon emission management grows, companies can now find a low cost, easy avenue to meet environmental regulations on the AppExchange 2. Adding Chatter to CloudApps Carbon allows employees to get involved and make a real difference to a company’s carbon reduction efforts. As regulations change and updates are needed, Chatter can alert the users in real-time keeping them in compliance.”

Companies of all sizes and all industries have realized that cloud computing can deliver tremendous success at low cost and is fast and easy to use.
